CSCE 567 Final Project: Movie Trends
By Yusiff Cassimjee

These visualization use baby names from Social Security Card applications from 2010 to 2020 to create the respective visualizations.
The data used is from Data.gov.

Here is a direct link to the data.

The line chart basically shows the number of babies per year that have matching Nintendo character names.
The heat map shows the popularity/ranking of each name in regards to every other name that was used to apply for a social security card that year.
It could be a coincidence, but it seems like the number of babies that share names with Nintendo characters increases when Nintendo releases a new game during that select year.


A good example is that the name Gannon spiked in popularity during the same year that the Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors released, in which he was a playable character.
